Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

i could def see being a female ref being one of the toughest jobs

oh no, poor alex len

oh that replay is rough

holtkamp seems more than equipped to deal with these dudes based on how she conducted herself when the clips were screaming at her, v tough lady

took one of my sisters to the hawks game last night. SAT NEXT TO SIR FOSTER. we're coming down the stairs to our seats and she's like 'o, we're sitting next to the organist, that's neat' (she don't know shit about the hawks) and my eyes are just agog. anyhow man is john wall fun to watch play. still concerned about how the hawks would do against a team w/ some size. they'd clearly decided to take korver out of the game, i don't think he got an open look from 3 the entire game, was good to see that that didn't appear to be 'how you beat the hawks'. was at the game when the player of the month notification came thru, crazy. tomorrow night should be fun.

sick 5-hole pass from the dragon

*enjoys balls' atl dispatches*

*enjoys balls*

Lmao just in the 3rd of the clippers game and all these techs are awesome. Those guys are such punks all game. Glad it was in a blowout tho and not anything swinging momentum.

heez and/or balls: any thoughts on the absurd troll take andrew sharp of grantland had on the hawks in the latest NBA shootaround article?

acceptable answers include "I didn't read it because I don't care about grantland" bc sometimes i myself don't know why I bother

john wall fun to watch play

yeah i went to see them when the wiz were in town and i couldn't take my eyes off wall when he was out there. dude rope-a-dopes fools with those speed changes, it's amazing to watch.

*nice balls* i'm actually a little more interested in the memphis game on sunday for the size reason. last time we played them z-bo was out and they had some terrible dude backing him up. millsap can really struggle against some one who is big and not entirely slow like nene and obv the brow

it seems dame caught batum's case of the yips just as nico's been steadying out

this is as good as portland's looked in a month

rasheed!!!!

really need more sheed in my life for sure

dear tnt fire shaq hire sheed you're welcome

sheed, webber, EJ and kenny would be a solid lineup

i would be fine with sheed having a podcast where he just talked mad shit about 00's-era nba bigs and coaching staffs

And refs

gotta say I loled at this latest dame commercial

Think harlen and fratello might be my fav pairing. Altho maybe it was such a breath of fresh air after listening to reggie and chuck

ouch, dame is 2 for his last 33 3PA

maybe he shouldn't have spouted off about the "snub"

Noticed that Hedo was rocking the 'short ont he sides long on top' cut yesterday, I was :\

Just two years ago, Davis went 30-of-90 (33 percent) from this zone. This season, he’s knocking down 49 percent from that area out of more than 200 attempts. As a pick-and-pop threat, he stands near the top of the leaderboard, along with a bunch of older guys who have a lot more seasoning in their game. Davis is there. And, again, he’s only 21.

Yeah, Matt!

i are with matt re road allegations fwiw. suspected wade since like year two/three when he came back from the offseason all beefcaked out.

i *agree re *roid

for bron tho, i feel like someone would've ratted him out by now tbh, if he were doing it, especially considering the thirst for cracks in the heat's armor and now in the cavs's.

also maybe i'm not looking close enough or don't know what to look for beyond obvious changes in sw0ledness, but i don't think his physique has appreciably changed much aside from growing older. that said, if reasonable evidence came out a la biogenesis, i wouldn't disbelieve it.

bron's always been a prettt big dude, i am not sure i get the sense that his bigness has increased specifically but i could be wrong.

for whatever reason it doesn't seem to me that bball is really the sport for juicers anyway. the highest profile dudes aren't all jacked body builders (thinking curry, harden, kd, etc) but i guess for lesser named players a strength adv might be sufficient to earn minutes? def prepared to be super wrong about my assessment though

and there would def be a positional aspect, the 4/5 could use more mass than the 1-3 to assist in post play etc

Matt, do you think shaq juiced

Feel like using peds to recover faster from injuries would be a thing

blood doping wld help w fatigue in basketball

not playing defense = preferred PED for that

I could be talked into dwight juicing, dude had an Adonis body during his peak while subsisting on skittles and reeses.

also boozer was 100% roiding back when he was good

getting jacked isn't always the only indicator. I wouldn't put it past kobe as he is one of those has-to-be-the-alpha-dog types like Armstrong/Bonds/A Rod. Kobe always coming back from injury early too.

shaq just ate food imo

Boozer - hair loss - bron - balding - makes too much sense

boozer for sure

with boozer, I mean, I saw dude's skin from courtside once. a guy in his late 20's who is on tv 100 nights a year just doesn't have acne like that unless it's cystic or a side-effect of a systemic drug routine.

ban wade

i signed up for tream yesterday and havent gotten an invite yet wtf how will i watch this game in high quality?

did u click through the referral link
